Yale. Lawsuit in rape case may revive due process of law
No one at Yale outside Montague, his former girlfriend, and the university officials who tried and convicted Montague in secret without ordinary due process of law really knows what happened…This destruction of due process of law in sexual-assault cases and the ruin of people who are merely accused is exactly what the banshees of political correctness want, since due process hampers getting convictions in such cases — as if due process doesn’t hamper getting convictions in all cases and as if due process, from the Magna Carta in 1215 to the Sixth Amendment in 1791 to Connecticut’s 1818 and 1965 constitutions, has not for centuries been regarded as the essential mechanism for increasing the likelihood that justice will be done and be seen to have been done.
